Summary
Several dedicated players with a penchant for character design have managed to independently recreate the Darth Kermit meme inThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. Their achievements later made the rounds on social media, underlining the impressive versatility ofOblivion Remastered’s character creator.
Bethesda games have long been known for offering elaborate character creators, withOblivionoften being touted as the pinnacle of this trend, largely on account of the ridiculous number of granular controls it offers to the player. While working on the recently released remaster, studio Virtuos kept the original character design system, but remade virtually every asset in the process, bringing it in line with modern sensibilities.
The latest example testifying to the incredible potential ofOblivion Remastered’s character customizationcomes from Reddit users Flannel_Devil and Imaginary_Priority_1, both of whom managed to recreate the Darth Kermit meme—sometimes called “Sith Kermit”—in the game. Flannel_Devil was the first to share their achievement, which emerged on the front page of the r/Oblivion subreddit after amassing nearly 10,000 upvotes in late April 2025. Reacting to their design, Imaginary_Priority_1 then revealed they had the same idea and were just as successful in realizing it.
Both players had the same basic approach to recreating thepopular Darth Kermit meme: they started with the Argonian race, tweaked its skin tones to be as close as possible to Kermit the Frog, then donned the Black Hand Robe at the first opportunity. The attire itself is a reward for progressing through the Dark Brotherhood questline, which manyOblivionfans still consider to be among the most memorable parts of the entire game.
Oblivion Remastered Players Are One-Upping One Another With Inventive Character Designs
These achievements are just the latest in a long string of examples ofOblivion Remasteredplayers getting immensely creative with the game’s character customization. Since the modernized version of the RPG launched on April 22, its players have already authored in-game recreations of Taylor Swift,Baldur’s Gate 3companions, and Nigel Thornberry, among plenty of other characters. Some inventive fans have even trieddesigning horrific monsters inOblivion Remastered, with the game itself being all too happy to oblige.
This ongoing trend serves as compelling evidence for the argument thatOblivion—remastered or not—truly has the most versatile character creator out of all Bethesda games. While the freedom it offers comes with some downsides, like making it super easy to get uncanny-looking characters, the overall package still seems to be incredibly popular. The community’s newly reaffirmed affinity forOblivion’s character creator could hence even prove significant enough to influence the character customization options inThe Elder Scrolls 6, which Bethesda is currently developing.
